Review: Legends of Chamberlain Heights “Party Over Here… F— You Over There”

Malik is going to save Africa… good luck young brother!

Spoilers Below

When Rosetta’s party get canceled to do a “debatable tax evasion”, Grover decides to host the party at his house.  With a little convincing from the guys, Grover decides to host the party at his house, stealing the opportunity from Randy.

Malik’s mission in the motherland is to take out Madea. Never having seen a Madea movie myself, I’m actually interested to see how this is going to turn out. Just as Malik gets ready to kill Madea, his cover is blown and he is captured by  Michael Jai White.

Back at home the party runs into a problem. Montrel has a few of his homies over, and its not looking good for the Shit Crew until Jamal makes a fake phonecall and convinces them to go to the strip club. When the party starts, it gets lit in a hurry. Even with a literal face full of titties, Grover is still thinking about Cindy. On his first chance to approach Cindy he ends up getting nervous, but fate is on his side. Cindy walks up to him and pretty much says “show me some moves”.  Grover and Milk end up putting on on a dance that definitely is a shout out to the old House Party movies, while Cindy and her home girl do the same. Randy and the Jocks tried to get in but were denied, just like what would have happened to the Shit Crew if they had tried to go to the popular kid’s party. In retaliation, Randy and the Jocks end up finding a way to  cut off the power to Grover’s house at the worst moment, because Grover and Cindy were seconds away from hooking up. Milk and Jamal get the power back on using the generator from Montrel’s traphouse and the party resumes, only for Cindy’s dad to bust up in the party holding a shotgun. Damn. Grover and Cindy hide in the closet while Milk convinces Cindy’s father to leave. I’m not gonna lie I would have had to let Milk slide on dropping the “n-bomb” once without getting slapped just for that. Thats a true homie right there, he had a gun in his face and was still able to make a good enough case to tell Cindy’s pops to get up out the place.

Shifting the focus back to Africa, Malik is trying to turn the tide and get Michael Jai White to join his side to no avail. Instead, he is imprisoned in Madea’s… prison. Luckily, Idris Elba, Blair Underwood, and Mike Epps, who are all in hiding after doing shitty Madea movies, decide to help out Malik.  Malik continues his mission to kill Madea, but he encounters from the Commandant and discovers his plan is to mine diamonds and sell them to every black person in America. It’s a plan that can’t fail, thanks to the ever popular “Mumble Rap”. Malik makes a decision right then and there that the Commandant is an even worse evil than Madea. He goes full Rambo, and with a little help from Oprah, is able to save Madea.

Back in the Heights, Randy rolls a keg of beer to the party with the intent to have it blow up and destroy Grover’s house. His plan back fires when the keg goes off, but instead of ending the party, everyone decides to take off their clothes instead. Pissed that Grover’s party is turning into a great party, Randy is about to beat up Grover. Back from his wild goose chase, Montrel shows up, Randy gets knocked out, and Montrel makes everybody clean up the house. The party is over and Grover still ain’t smash Cindy. Damn homie… well, at least you threw a dope ass party. In the final scene, Malik returns from Africa with some souvenirs for the boys and then joins them on the couch for a Madea movie. The house is spotless and he is convinced Montrel and Grover can be responsible on their own.

This episode was pretty good. I wasn’t quite sure how it was going to turn out with Grover hosting the party, but he actually did a pretty good job. I was certain he was going to drop the ball somehow and forever be a loser. Then I thought something was going to go wrong when Milk and Jamal stole the generator from Montrel’s trap house, but nope! The party ended up having an almost perfect outcome aside from Grover not hooking up with Cindy. I also found Flo-Rida’s cameo appearance to be funny as hell, and random as well. On top of that, Malik’s whole escapade was another story on its own! He went from wanting to kill Madea, to actually saving Madea. Malik saw that even though the movies are terrible, at least Madea was giving black people jobs and creating growth for black folk, whereas the Commandant was just trying to poison black people even worse with all the diamonds he was planning on selling anyways. From the first scene to the last, this episode of Chamberlain Heights just kept getting better.
